@DevrajJhaDJ 20 years of working with vim motions and familiarity with how to be productive.

What's the reason for requiring someone to not use the tool they're most productive with?

@wylfcen Whoa! Is the etymology related to our ideas about the dangers of interacting with the Fey Realm?

@oldyzach Is this on Mister yet? I grew up loving SF2 and the movie but never got to play this one.

I mean, movies and music albums get re-released all the time. I understand it's a wholly different undertaking to put out a video game as opposed to a simple audio recording.
Some indie publishers are putting out megadrive and Gameboy cartridges right now.
I guess I'm saying it would be a neat idea, therefore Sony will have nothing to do with it.

@Plastic_proff @16bitnostalgia Appreciate it, that's very cool of you, but I got lucky early in the pandemic with a Japanese copy

@MicrowaveHyena @16bitnostalgia I've got some bad news for you re; Sony and physical media

I've never looked into it, and I'm praying for the rest of his soul, but for my entire adult life, everytime I heard Lindsey Graham speak on TV, there was a small voice in my mind (that sounded like Norm MacDonald) saying

"...so this guy's a confirmed bachelor, right?"

@SamaHoole "Steady on" 🤣

@jrswab This would follow the precedent of something cool happening in the Linux ecosystem and then showing up as "innovation" on Mac 😂

@gtsuttons @KurtSupeCPA I thought the point was he can only contribute up to what his W2 says he earned in the year

Happy semiquincentennial eve everybody.

@NormSNLJokes @RichardSerton I remember seeing this one when it aired. Dad and I had a pretty good laugh.

@Soaringeagle45 This would be the only justifiable use of "bruh" in conversation with my wife.

People romanticize their childhood memories of eating ice cream with grandpa. I've got bad news for all you dreamers; ice cream melts and grandparents pass away from this mortals coil. Resistance to entropy is futile, so go ahead and be sad about it now. 😜

Before streaming, I was a big DVD collector. I bought nearly a thousand movies. I thought I was building a library. And I will tell you a secret:

DVDs rot.

The glue that holds the layers together can become opaque so the laser doesn’t read the disc properly or it can simply degrade so the disc falls apart or it can warp or expand so the disc won’t spin properly in the drive.

So, in addition to needing to keep antique hardware with delicate moving parts in working order to play these games or watch these movies, the media itself is degrading.

Yeah, your purchased digital movie might get deleted from the network over rights issues at some point in the future or the service that provides it might shut down. But if you buy a BluRay and put it on a shelf for five years and then decide to watch it, there is a decent chance it won’t work.

I love a beautiful Criterion movie box set or a game with cool box art and a manual as much as the next guy, but people overly romanticize physical media. The universe is governed by entropy and everything is falling apart.

As the T1000 was melting my son said
"So after that then the other terminator will have to melt himself too right?"

Well he saw it coming

[Justin Hester @guitarhester]

Live tweet watching T2 with my teenage son for the first time?

[Justin Hester @guitarhester]

Okay so is that the real mom or the fake mom?

Called it!
